Alagoas - Brazil's latest six star destination
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Brazil's property market is creating huge potential for early bird property investors to get greater returns and exploratory investors searching for investment prospects are looking further afield.
Alagoas, the Northeast region's second-smallest state, has over 230 km of perfect coastline. The state is located between Pernambuco in the north and Sergipe in the south and has a population of 3 million. Maceio, the capital of Alagoas has long been a popular Brazilian tourist destination. The opening of the international airport in Maceio, in 2005, has brought it to the attention of international investors.
Alagoas has a year round temperature of 25 degrees with an average of 50mm of rainfall. The clear warm waters and some of the most fabulous beaches in the country offer popular cocktail of sun and the beach. Most of the state has myriad coconut palms and sugar cane, with coral reefs forming swimming pools that are famous for snorkeling and bathing. Holidaymakers can take their families to the country's beach resorts or enjoy the spas on offer in the state.
Felipe Cavalcante, President of ADIT Nordestehas stated that Alagoas is a potential high class tourist and real estate destination. Additional air routes to Alagoas are likely to attract foreign investment in the promising Brazilian property market, where buy-to-let ventures are presently being tipped as one of the most lucrative real estate opportunities. Knight Frank, an international residential and commercial property consultancy, explained the advantage of buying off-plan properties in rising markets that it can save more money.

Real estate to capitalise on the record harvest
Monday, July 28, 2008
Brazilian property could be set to boom after the country is expecting a booming harvest this year, official statistics suggest.
Mercopress cited Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE) June month reports have revealed that the 2008 yield is expected to be almost eight per cent higher than that of 2007. As many countries are experiencing the effects of the global food crisis, Brazil appears to be self-sufficient which means prices are unlikely to soar and people will have more money for rent.
IBGE has estimated a record harvest of cereals, vegetables and oilseeds in the region of 143.6 million metric tones. Antonio Sarkis, President of The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce has stated that Brazil has the natural talent to become one of the world leaders in agricultural sector, which could prove promising for potential buyers of Brazilian property.
According to the Financial Times, the Brazilian government plans to increase credit available for agricultural use to the equivalent of around £24.4 billion which is a 12 per cent rise and the interest rates for loans will remain at a steady 6.75 per cent to boost the sector. Meanwhile, Global property service provider Savills has highlighted the land in Brazil is among the cheapest productive property available in the world.
Property writer Judith Rehak said in The New York Times that Brazil is enjoying economic buoyancy which was the reason for a boom in property in Brazil.

Brazil construction sector at all-time high
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
The Union of the Civil Construction Industry (Sinduscon) has anticipated Brazil's construction sector's dramatic increase in activity and said that it should grow by a tenth this year.
Sinduscon has stated that the industry growth by nine per cent in 2007 will be beaten this year and suggests that these high levels of demand reflected in the Brazil's booming property market. ANBA has reported that Brazil’s vibrant economy and increasing purchasing powers as the main causes of the sector's performance.
Property experts believe that the growth in the housebuilding component is "noteworthy" and a healthy economic outlook is continuing to boost workloads within the construction industry. This improved buoyancy in housing market activity and prices are boosting housebuilders confidence. Eight million more homes are now required in Brazil and the publication added that nearly 15 per cent of Brazil's households are unfinished and most of them require regular maintenance work.
The sharp pace of growth is a mark of the confidence in the Brazil property market that companies are so eager to build, with the residential sector undoubtedly leading the way. High levels of demand and only limited supply may also increase the property prices and the country has seen capital growth of around 20 per cent in its property last year.
This comes after currency specialist HiFX has recently predicted Brazil to be a hotspot for property investors in 2008.

Sao Paulo attracts highest foreign investment in Latin America
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Sao Paulo with its ideal location and its growing economy has become a big draw for many foreign investors.
Reporte Inmobiliario, Argentinean real estate consulting firm has named Sao Paulo as the largest city in Latin America with the highest prices in commercial and residential properties in the region. Real estate is seeing incredible growth in terms of value as well as in the tourism markets here.
Property prices in the area are expected to rise significantly in the next years with Sao Paulo possibly hosting the 2014 Football World Cup. Overseas investors are recommended to take full advantage of the forthcoming price increases by snapping up a residence. Sao Paulo has also seen an enormous increase in foreign direct investment in the last few years and it is by far the most affluent economy in Brazil.
Brazzil mag has reported that Prices in Sao Paulo for a garden tower terrace range from $3,000 (£1,500) per square meter compared with a Montevideo where a similar property costs around $1,200 (£600) per square meter. Property experts believe that though things have got more expensive, they're still much better off than investors would get in countries like England. The weak US dollar provides a perfect chance to buy a little luxury in Sao Paulo at price foreign buyers might not normally be able to afford.
